Smoke (Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue)

“	You don't wanna be left out, do ya? Try it, try it!! Trust me, listen to me, Mikey! Scared to try something new?! DO IT!	„
	~ Smoke taunting Michael to continue using drugs.

“	You can't get rid of me this easy! I'LL BE BACK, AND YOU CAN BET ON IT!	„
	~ Smoke's last words after being thrown into a garbage truck.

Smoke is the main antagonist of the 1990 animated crossover television special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue. He is a anthropomorphic cloud of smoke who preys and influences on people's desires to do drug abuse for his own purposes, and is in turn an embodiment of drug use, drug addiction, and peer pressure into doing drugs.

He was voiced by the late George C. Scott, who also portrayed General Buck Turgidson in Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, John Rainbird in the 1984 film adaptation of Firestarter and Percival C. McLeach in Disney's The Rescuers Down Under (which was released the same year).

Biography[]

Being a being of living smoke, Smoke is known for his troubles of luring young teens into using illegal drugs for years and has had success in doing so. Among the many teens he brought into his inner circle is a 14-year-old boy named Michael, who has become very distant towards his family due to his habit of using marijuana alongside his peers.

Upon hearing that Michael just destroyed a piggy bank belonging to his younger sister Corey and stole her money and their father's beer, several cartoon characters in Corey's room come to life and find out that Michael himself has a box of drugs underneath his bed. They decide to take action by showing Michael the dangers of drug abuse. Michael leaves for the arcade, where his peers and Smoke meet up with him before one of the teens shows up to offer some crack.

Smoke tries to goad Michael to try the stuff, but the event is interrupted by a police raid. The teens are forced to flee, but Michael is cornered by an incoming police officer, who actually turns out to be Bugs Bunny in disguise. Using a time machine, Bugs and Michael travel back to two years ago, where it is revealed that Michael has only become addicted to drugs due to peer pressure by some older high school delinquents.

After being returned back to the present, Smoke steals Michael's wallet and gives it to one his delinquent peers, who goes off to buy more crack. As Michael runs to get his wallet back, he and Smoke fall into a sewer hole before being taken into a tour of the human brain, where he is told about the dangers of drug abuse that's causing to the brain. This causes Michael to wake up in his room, believing the events to be just a nightmare he had.

After lashing out at Corey when she tries to confront him about his problems, Michael starts to have second thoughts and looks through a mirror in his marijuana box right before he is pulled into it by Alf. Inside a hall of mirrors, Alf shows Michael a reflection of what would happen if he does not quit using drugs, an aged, corpse-like version of himself. When Michael insists that he could quit if he wants to and that he is in charge of his own life, Alf takes him to see the "man in charge", who is none other than Smoke himself. This made Michael realize in complete horror that Smoke has been pushing people into doing drug abuse that would lead to their deaths to become more powerful, and that he would suffer the same fate if he doesn't quit.

In the meantime, Corey spots Michael's marijuana box in his room, and Smoke takes the opportunity to try and convince Corey into using the stuff, hoping that she would end up the same fate as Michael; even throwing Winnie the Pooh into a cupboard when the latter tried to warn Corey. However, being convinced by the cartoon characters about the dangers of drug abuse, Michael returns back to his room and prevents Corey from using the drugs, admitting that he was wrong to do so himself and that he is unsure to know how to quit. As Corey pleads with Michael to talk to their parents about the issue, Smoke tries to convince Michael to ignore her and continue on with his drug habits. However, Michael furiously states that he's done listening to Smoke and throws him out of the window into a garbage truck.

As the garbage truck drives away to the dump, Smoke furiously states that he can't be disposed of so easily and that he will return for the kids when they least expect it. However, Michael and Corey state that they, along with the cartoon characters, will be ready for Smoke if he does return. Michael finally takes Corey's advice to discuss his drug problem with their parents, leaving the cartoon characters proud that they finally brought Michael out from Smoke's control for good.
